SEE ALL OF THE VETERANS DAY FREEBIES AND DEALS

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS A VETERAN, SEE WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM THIS WEEKEND

With Veterans Day being celebrated and observed this weekend, let’s first take the time to thank our heroes and service members. Hopefully you know someone and can thank them personally.
Which leads me to the next order of conversation, one way to thank them is to take them to get some Veterans Day FREEBIES. Every year certain businesses and chains show appreciation by offering FREE meals to Veterans, among other things. (These do usually require some sort of ID showing proof of service).
Being that I am a Veteran, I take full advantage of this and enjoy my holiday to the fullest. Literally, I get as full as possible from as many freebies as I can. I have listed some of the most popular ones, or at least my favorite ones, below and you can find the full list here: https://www.military.com/veterans-day/restaurants-veterans-day-military-...

So loosen your belt a bit and enjoy the liberty of being a proud vet as you dine away. And as I always do, and my daughter always rolls her eyes at, when the server ends your meal with a smile and says “Thank you, for your service” be sure to smile back and say “No. Thank YOU for YOUR service.” Enjoy.
